Debbie Gibson can add more joy to any season! If I found her perfume, Electric Youth, under my tree, all wrapped up in a neat package, I would lose my mind! I used to wear that ALL THE TIME!!
Fast forward to 2022…You’ll find her new Christmas album playing on my smart speaker too! Oh yeah, a Christmas album!!!
Debbie Gibson throws her Santa hat in the ring with Winterlicious, her first-ever holiday album, which drops on October 21. It’s a Christmas celebration for her! Can you believe it’s been 35 years since her classic Eighties debut Out of the Blue? She did have an excellent 2021 with her album The Body Remembers.
Winterlicious is a delightful, wintery mix of familiar Yuletide standards, from “Sleigh Ride” to “God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman.” She also includes originals like “Christmas Star,” which she just debuted last year. “Heartbreak Holiday” is a new duet with, get ready to scream….Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block (us 80’s ladies just lost our minds!). Debbie will also hit the road on a “Winterlicious” holiday tour that begins in California on November 25th.
Fun Fact! In 1988, at 17, she became the youngest woman ever to write, sing and produce a #1 song “Foolish Beat. Her record still stands today.
